I am starting Algebra and I really dont get it , please help rt-2y=y, solve for t

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Do PEMDAS backwards

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So first you have to get rid of the 2y and get it on the the other side so do the opposite if adding in original problem subtract is subtracting add

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So your rt is on one side that's your goal is to get t one one side all by itself

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Given rt-2y=y, solve for t. 1. Add 2y to both sides of this equation. This will isolate rt on the left side and will result in a simple right side. 2. Simplify as much as possible. 3. Divide both sides of the resulting equation by r. 4. Write your answer as "t = ( ) / ( ).
